Got back to San Francisco at 10 am yesterday morning. Realized I had no phone with which to call revid and resorted to that charming relic of a bygone era, something called a pay phone.. It was magical.
Came home, ate greasy chinese food with revid, then showered & succumbed to the call of Apple and went to get myself a new iPhone. (...I don't think I ever mentioned it, but my old one was stolen while I was in New Zealand. NOT ON, NZ.) So now I am in possession of Artoo the White. (Both as a reference to his shiny purty color, and to the fact that he pulled a Gandalf and came back to me WHITER AND SHINIER THAN EVER.)
Stayed up till 1 am (36 straight hours since leaving Sydney, what the sweet hell) then slept till 1 pm. (Yeah, shut up. You would've too. Don't be a hater.)
Realized for what felt like the billionth time that despite all the planning & scheming I did to run off on Ye Olde Big Trip, I had given next to no thought to what the hell I'd do upon my return. So to all of you asking "WHAT NOW?" the answer is "HELL IF I KNOW." It probably involves some form of completely over-the-top writing, though. I am already thinking about a longer trip a year and a half to two years from now maybe this time I can make it somewhere where nobody speaks English but meeee
Went and saw "Thor" (again) with some random dude from OK Cupid, had a generally very satisfying time. THOR SMASH! CHRIS HEMSWORTH HOT! Now I have to go watch all the other Marvel-universe movies again. Life: so hard. Totally had to shut down some random drunk guy on the bus, too. This actually happened: "So, like, you should come to this ...cocktail-tasting party tomorrow---" "Please stop touching me." "I'm not touching you!" "Well, not now. Because I asked you to stop." "...Oh, yeah, okay." REAL CONVERSATION.
Discovered that it's Star Trek Big Bang sign-up time again. WHAT THE HELL? WHERE DID THE WHOLE YEAR GO? Oh, yeah: writing previous Big Bang/working like a madwoman/saving up for a crazy trip/3.5 MONTHS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Nevermind. Still, it's definitely a "where the hell did this ENTIRE YEAR go?" kind of moment.
Made an LJ post at 2:30 in the morning when I got home from the movie and wasn't tired. SIGH.
More intelligent post with Thoughts and Feelings (and hopefully pictures) to come tomorrow or the next day. Coz, GUESS WHAT, I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED AND CAN DO WHAT I WAAAAAANT! WHOOOOO!!! ....Ahem.
